WHAT IT DOES

What pfsense_create_services_acme_certificate_issue does on Pfsense

AI agents invoke pfsense_create_services_acme_certificate_issue to trigger actions in Pfsense. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call: builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.

RISK

Why pfsense_create_services_acme_certificate_issue is rated High

This tool triggers an external operation (ACME certificate issuance) that involves reaching out to external certificate authorities, modifying certificate state, and potentially affecting HTTPS/TLS services on the firewall. It goes beyond a simple write as it executes an external workflow with side effects that depend on current state and external systems.

From the tool's definition POST /api/v2/services/acme/certificate/issue — 'issue' triggers an external ACME certificate issuance operation
